Introduction to the Project:

Retailing is one such step in the marketing chain of activities that facilitates the

distribution function. Initially, it was considered as just another step in the marketing

chain and the function was accepted as obvious. As the competition increased globally,

differentiation became more and more difficult. Consumer’s purchasing power increased

as economy opened up into more market-oriented mode. Retail function being the most

often used and final link with the ultimate consumer, marketers thought of using it for

differentiation and positioning. So, retailing ceased to be considered as an outgrowth of

traditional marketing activity; rather it was recognized as an important business

proposition in its own accord, which ultimately helps marketing in performing its

function and successfully satisfying the objectives. Therefore, retailing immerged as a

discipline and considerable thinking and research went into it for the development and

substantiation.

Big Bazaar is one such big retail giant that has a wide market with variety of product

lines. It has introduced its own brands of products to its customers. This research study

mainly focuses on the customer’s perception regarding some specific brands of Big

Bazaar. The study will help the organization in knowing the customer perception about

these brands.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

A study on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

Retail in India is on a cusp of transformation. Organized retailing as a professional

service-oriented set-up, is a recent phenomenon in India but is growing at a tremendous

pace with a potential of creating over 2 million new (direct) jobs within the next six

years, assuming an 8 to 10 per cent share of organized retailing in the total retail business.

The fast changing retail environment demands that professionals learn new skills,

improve their efficiency, learn to compete and think out of the box. As retailers work

directly with customers and there is need for good managerial talent to interpret and

satisfy the needs and desires of customers. All this requires an education that is intensive,

comprehensive and closely linked to the retail business world. The need is to have a

program which has all the inherent features of a business management program and

includes experiential learning throughout the program.

 Market Trends, Challenges & Opportunities

1. Across BRIC countries, the food and grocery (F&G) segment is clearly driving

retail growth. For eg, retail food sales dominate the total retail market in Brazil,

accounting for almost 54 percent of the total retail sales, while Russia is the

fastest growing retail food sales market in the world, with the potential to again

double in size by 2008.

2. The prevalence of English as a language of communication to a very great extent

facilitates material sourcing and business communication. While India and Russia

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 8

Page 9: A Project Report on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

A study on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

pose no problems in this regard, Brazil and China present communication

problems for foreign companies.

3. The importance of governments that are quick on decision-making and passing

sliberal trade laws cannot be emphasized enough. In China, for instance, being a

non-democratic country makes it easier for foreign investors to do business sans

bureaucratic red-tapism (in comparison to a democratic country like India), the

obvious reason being that the political establishment is not directly accountable to

the people.

4. Growing urbanization and metropolitan saturation is leading to the expansion of

retail formats and investment opportunities towards tier-II cities and rural hubs

across all four countries.

5. Continued economic reforms together with the growth of organised retail

(especially in the F&G segment) has led to growing rural incomes, triggering off

far-reaching, social impacts. The upcoming ‘Golden Quadrilateral' plan for

roadways in India, which is to connect the four cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai

and Chennai, will have massive economic and social repercussions on rural and

semi-rural clusters along the vast network. In China too, the government plans to

create a rural retail network covering 70 percent of all villages by 2008.

Retail and India

India's imminent urbanization process has implications for demand for housing, urban

infrastructure, location of retail, and demand for consumer durables.

The on-stream infrastructure development will drive growth in the transportation sector,

spur demand for vehicles, increase real estate values along the “Golden Quadrilateral”

corridor, and potentially boost construction of suburban homes as people escape

congested cities. Plus, it will open up thousands of villages en route to a global audience

and effectively integrate them with the growing Indian economy.

• Growth of the Retail market, to a great extent, is the dependent on the size of the

country's consuming class and the rate of growth of GDP, especially disposable incomes.

• India is the world's second most populous country and its GDP growth is likely to

surpass that of China by 2015.

• It is estimated that India's GDP will surpass that of the US before 2050, to make it the

world's second largest economy.

• Reflecting on the robust growth in India's GDP, consumer expenditure (in current

prices) grew at a relatively high pace of nearly 10 percent per annum over the past two

years.

• India's advantage lies in the fact that it has the largest young population in the world –

over 890 million Indians are below 45 years of age. The median age for India is 25 years

as compared to 28 years for Brazil, 33 years for China and 38 years for Russia.

• There are more English speaking people in India than on the European continent.

• The retailing industry in India, is expected to estimate to USD 440 Billion by 2010.

• Of the total retail market, food and grocery retail is by far the single largest block

estimated to be worth a whopping Rs.642, 200 crore, but more than 99 percent of this

market is dominated by the neighborhood mom & pop stores.

• Clothing, textiles and fashion accessories constitute the second largest block.

• For the year 2007, the India Apparel Report 2007 expects growth of organized retail to

touch 40 percent. From 2008 onwards (until at least 2010), organized retail is expected to

register around 45 percent YoY growth in India.

• Total retail in India, which registered 5.7 percent YoY growth from 2004-2006, to range

between that and 6 percent YoY growth over the next 3-4 years.

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 10

Page 11: A Project Report on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

A study on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

• With these growth percentages and following from our estimates for 2006, the future

estimates* for organized retail in India: 2007– Rs.77, 000 crore; 2008 – Rs.111, 500

crore; 2009 – Rs.162,000 crore; and 2010 – Rs.235,000 crore. (*Estimates based on 2006

prices).

• In terms of formats, the energy in terms of new investments is expected to be driven

towards the supermarkets and hypermarket segments.

• All new players – Reliance Industries, Bharti Retail/ Wal-Mart, AV Birla Group – have

shown interest towards developing these two formats, along with wholesale, cash & carry

outlets, while India's largest retailer – Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. – has a continuous store

rollout schedule for its Big Bazaar hypermarkets and Food Bazaar supermarkets.

The acceptance and loyalty that Big Bazaar has garnered over the years, was well evident

on 15th August 2008. On the day India celebrates its Independence Day, the company

honoured the consumer by calling it the ‘Maha Savings Day’. Shoppers at all Big Bazaar

and Food Bazaar outlets across the country were offered products at prices never heard

before in the history of shopping.

The offers were spread across categories from electronics to utensils, from apparel to

furniture and food. This event received tremendous response from the regular and an

entirely new set of shoppers, which resulted in nearly 1 million people visiting the stores

on that day. And most stores were able to post record sales for a single day.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 69

Page 70: A Project Report on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

A study on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

Recommendation:

From the findings it has been found that most of the respondents(60%) are aware

of the products of Knighthood brand but only (40%) of them actually bought the

Knighthood products and (60%) of the respondents stated the reasons for not

going for Knighthood brand are less variety and low quality. Hence, Big Bazaar

has to come up with more variety and high quality products thereby converting

the prospective customers into customers.

From the findings it has been found that the purchase of Dreamline products is

good but the reasons the respondents gave majority of percentage to

availability(29.9%), this shows the customers were left without a choice so they

purchased the Dreamline products. Hence Big Bazaar has to stress more upon

improving Design and Quality of the products. It should implement various

techniques of pushing sales like ‘Up-selling’ and they should offer free samples.

From the findings it has been found that large number of respondents (70%) are

first of all not aware of Koryo brand products and small percentage of

sample(23.3%) who purchased Koryo brand products most of them (6.7%)stated

that offers influenced them. Hence, Big Bazaar should create more awareness of

Koryo brand products through advertising the Koryo products in news papers,

televisions, hordings in the most creative and effective manner.

Over all Big Bazaar has to create the brand awareness among the people of their

private brands in the Hubli Market.

Big Bazaar should associate their private brands with Brand Ambassadors.

Big Bazaar should come up with creative Taglines or Punchlines for their private

brand products.

The products have to be identified with the brands so that it creates brand image

and brand positioning in the minds of the customers so that later they can be the

loyal customers.

Since the Big Bazaar in Hubli holds the First mover advantage, in order to retain

this advantage Big Bazaar has to add many products to its product line and should

come up with variety of products with good quality and service.

CONCLUSION

A study on customer perception towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar

Conclusion

This study has basically helped me to know the level of customers’ perception

towards specific private brands of Big Bazaar. Most of the customers are unaware of the

specific private brands of Big Bazaar, very small percentage of the people are aware but

then, they bought the products of those brands for the first time, attracted by the offers in

big bazaar. Big Bazaar has great offers for their customers that acts as the motivating

factor which brings the customers to Big Bazaar.

Big Bazaar is doing excellent in the Hubli market, by having the first mover

advantage. Specially, the Food Bazaar and Big Bazaar Fashion has a good customer

response.

I believe that Big Bazaar has the potential to attract new customers and retain the

existing customers. And it has its brand name to reckon with the market, but the only area

of concern is in promoting its new private brands. Hence Big Bazaar has to concentrate

on the 4 P’s more effectively in order to overcome this issue.
